Gery Chico Running Hard

First he pisses off the mayor by questioning how the schools are being run into the ground. Then he shows up on the WBBM "At Issue" program (no link available yet) saying how he's going to let J-Fled go, promote someone from within the Department, and change things so cops want to come to work and do police work again.

Of course, he also said he wants to "revitalize" the CAPS program, which earns him a metaphorical kick in the 'nads for not letting that demon-spawned money wasting program die and ignominious death as soon as possible.

But he's definitely courting the disillusioned city workers. But it's still a win-win for Shortshanks if Chico wins or Rahm wins

I listened to At Issue tonight, but didn't catch the last few minutes. Chico is articulate and talks a big game when it comes to championing the public school children and their continuing educational development, and for that I give him credit.

However, from what I heard, he seemed to only briefly mention pension reform, but didn't expand on any possible solution(s). He then referenced pursuing a land-based casino in about the same breath, but still didn't mention a correlation between the two. Anybody knows what his stance is on helping get the pensions funded to where they should be?

PT Barnum said "there's a sucker born every minute". You folks are smokin dope. Please Who made him Chief of Staff? He ran city colleges. Please is a a Daley guy all the way. A little theater and you believe it is a new day WoW!!! BTW JFLED doesnt want to stay So Vote Chico + Daley

Chico knows how to get elected it would seem. Letting J-Fled go will be the biggest vote getter in the history of politics. Rahm the little jag has not figured that out yet. He's still sucking up to daley in case his campaign gets a swift kick in the nuts that everyone is hoping for.

City office workers are GROSSLY overcompensated--I know since I was there for about 10 years. Many of them have the office skills that equal a dogs (except they have a thumb). Many/most of them are beyond stupid and lazy. As long as you lick your bosses azz, you're golden. There were too many bosses before layoffs began, now there are way too many. If one of these fools wants me to listen to them, that is one of the things I need to hear about. Here's a good initial idea: Fire everyone in Water-they are hooked up sleazeballs.CAPS is pandering to citizens. It's sad since it could be terrific. It was something that I was very involved in as a citizen. It's a dumb program and it reveal to the citizens how inadequete and ineffective you can be-not because of who you are but the limitations put on you by your bosses and money. The CAPS staff are useless. Put the Cops back on the street instead of kow-towing to citizens while knowing that they will not act on what is really going on.

I was down state deer hunting and caught the news which was reporting the proposed pension reform to the down state fund. The proposal was for new hires police and fire to retire at age 60. And the max pension for 30 yrs being 70%.

This guy is a dope. He wants to spend more money on education. That hasn't worked in 30 years. You could have every CPS school staffed with Harvard professors and the results would be the same: a bunch of shithead kids. A Catholic education costs only (compared to CPS) $2000 per kid, how do they do it? Because you're paying for it with your own money.

Until mom and dad get involved decrease spending on education and free lunch programs. Better yet make it all private and the city can give out a voucher for $1000 (a compromise for the liberals).

I don't know much about Chico, other than his being a machine Democrat/rubber stamp for Daley. Having said that, I hesitantly must admit I was impressed overall with what he said Sunday morning on NewsRadio 780's "At Issue" program. Just when I thought Rahm had this election in the bag....Chicomight be able to pull it out. The bigger question is,who would truly be the lesser of the two EVILS?

There is no "white knight" on a steed who is going to save us all. So, after you grow up, realize that we must make the choice from those who are running.

RAHM - Daley, Obama, Media, and Business(connected that is) ALL WANT RAHM. Supposed Mr. Tuff guy doesn't even have the guts to say he would get rid of J-Fed. Even J-Fed himself knows he is gone. Rahm is Daley all over again only more smug and arrogant if that is possible.

Davis, Meeks and Braun - Revruns running the show like they do now, but without white a middle man to dole out the largess in return for votes.

Of the serious contenders that leaves Chico. Of course he was a player, or do you still believe we are going to get a "pure" candidate by Immaculate Conception. They are all politicians. And Chico must have really pissed off Daley. Look at the video "never, ever, ever...." Daley is pissed so that directs my vote. We need to get behind one candidate, or we are going to be very unhappy with Rahm.

Cheeks is going to give every public school student a lap top. Who gives the money and who gets the money. Buy the votes with someone else's money.Let's not put more money into schools that produce morons.

As it stands now, the black vote will be split unless a couple of the over inflated egos that are in the race drop out. What is interesting is that many of the southwest and northwest side alderman and ward committeemen, the most powerful and well known being Burke, do not like or want Rahm Immanuel. They see him as arrogant and ignorant, more "one way" than Daley and likely to be around for a long time. They would love to see an alternative to Immanuel and that alternative is Chico. What does that say?

Catering to disgruntled city workers? Please. Twenty percent permanent paycuts are not exactly the way to go particularly since the city government hasn't done jack to economize and balance the budget other than not pay us.

Chico doesn't have a sister - he's got three brothers. Stop by his website (www.gerychico.com)or visit his Facebook page and ask the hard questions like pension reform and I guarantee you'll get an answer. Gery has family that's CPD and he cares about your issues!

As one commentator opined, a lot of the USUAL PEOPLE in the Daley Inc. inner circle are looking to get their dicks wet on the next round of sweetheart contracts at the hand of the INSIDE guy aka Chico.

Not that Emanuel is great shakes either.

We note that Daley Inc. gave the order to split the black vote many ways. The Hispanic vote perhaps less so. They'll be too busy cutting each others throats for crumbs while the REAL GUYS are setting up to print money like a muthafuckah...

Our ornery side wishes for a 3 way run off... The hidden hand will be forced to reveal itself and the muthafuckahs left standing will be forced to put on a REAL talent show.

Not only does Gery have a cousin who is on the CPD. But he has over 20 yrs and is still a patrolman. Chico never got him a merit promotion even tho he was the Mayors Chief of staff. That tells me that maybe we can get him to eliminate or reduce the number of merit promotions in the future.

"No disrespect intended then and now, but I wasn't a petty bitch. In fact, I answered your question with "What's wrong with John Hu...".Yes, it was hard. Enjoy your squares and java. :)

no, you responded to a simple question by posing your own question, which contained the implication that you'd assumed that the question initially posed implied that there were no alternatives currently filed as candidates worthy of being considered as authentic alternatives to the same old same old.

providing the link to your 'currently' preferred mayoral candidate is not the same as expressing your, presumably, humble, honest and informed reasons for believing that your preferred mayoral candidate is, indeed, an authentic alternative to the currently filed and listed mayoral candidates.

are you at a loss for words, or merely mentally lazy?

I don't see you expressing a humble, honest and informed opinion. Instead, I see your usual catty remarks? Are you mentally lazy or a loss for words liberal? :)
